#Monolith Zero

Yesterday, I decided to build the complete printer with FDM parts, not just the XY gantry, to get a better understanding of the whole experience…

I wanted to touch on the Z-assembly of the M0 for quite a while now, so here it is…

As a side quest, I've been toying with the idea of a simple 100W 24V chamber heater solution to easily reach temperatures similar to my V2, which is around 90°C…

The best way to avoid issues and improve the experience is with several test fits with printed parts and iteration until the desired outcome…

Another uninterrupted, ~10-hour day spent on the "V0" with good, but not particularly interesting progress. I've managed to work out a ton of stuff today including:…

In earlier posts I claimed that I wanted to reuse the same toolhead for the small printer but with a different belt clamp and no Beacon mount…

The XY gantry serviceability is very important on small machines, as it's quite difficult to work inside the printer. The 1515s and the hard-to-remove panels further add to this issue…

It's a productive week on the V0 front, which is no coincidence since zruncho has been feeding me a ton of great ideas and helping me think outside the box…

It's been a while since I disassembled the V0 frame, but it's quite a challenge to check all the boxes I wanna check:…

I just wanted to summarize for you guys where the focus will be for the rest of the year. Documenting the development process will be a priority. Without the help of our Members, we wouldn't be able to do most of these things, so it's crucial to provide as valuable and fun behind-the-scenes experience as possible…
